~ The Birth and Death of the Second America

Monthly Archives: February 2014

FW de Klerk removed the last apartheid laws in South Africa and negotiated the “New South Africa” with the Black Nationalist ANC. In 1993 he and Mandela jointly received the Nobel Peace Prize. The wording of that award read: “…for laying the foundations for a new democratic South Africa.”

De Klerk is warning the world that South Africa’s much vaunted “Democracy” is in serious danger. He is 100% right. The only confusing part of his warning, is that all of this was known in 1990-1994 when he undertook the negotiations. This is why he has little if any credibility left with ordinary White South Africans and Blacks ignore him.

De Klerk points out that the ANC has been following a two phase plan ever since 1994. As party, it has repeatedly threatened its “Second Phase”. The ANC is an organization that plays specifically to Black racists by promising to harm Whites. It has worked for them for twenty years. Why should should they not try it again? That is also why they have kept Robert Mugabe in power in Zimbabwe against the will of the entire planet. Mugabe is the “bogeyman” with which to scare Whites, and is therefore useful to the ANC.

As De Klerk explains the First Phase,
—“The ANC’s first priority after the 1994 transition was to shift the balance of forces in its favor by seizing control of the levers of state power. Its targets, in its own words, were ‘the legislatures, the executives, the public service, the security forces, the judiciary, parastatals, the public broadcaster, and so on’. It planned to gain control of these institutions by deploying ANC cadres to leading positions.”

Readers here may vicariously live the reality of the cadre-takeover process for themselves in chapters 26 and 28 of AmaBhuluwhere several examples the author himself witnessed and experienced are presented. De Klerk is 100% correct on this point. The Soviet term “cadre” should already identify for the reader the mindset of these operatives. In the book the term “Political Officer” is quite correctly employed. In his seminal work, Europe – a History, Norman Davies explains clearly how this process works and fools Western reporters.

De Klerk goes on to explain regarding “Phase 2”,

—“The ANC sees itself, not as an ordinary political party, but as a national liberation movement with an uncompleted revolutionary mandate.” He then proceeds to suggest “we need to talk to government”.

History records that it was De Klerk himself who talked to the ANC, and now we see the consequences. Everyone is losing; Black, White, Coloured, and Indian. Only the ANC sycophants are winning; and they are staggeringly rich, because they are stealing the country blind via BEE and preferential government tenders. And that is only when the state coffers are not directly siphoned.

So, here is the AmaBhulu recommendation to Mr De Klerk:
— Sir, please dust off your Nobel Peace Prize medal. Phone the media, and invite them to Oslo City Hall on 10 December of this year. Respectfully hand your medal back to the King of Norway in front of the media. Then hold a press conference and tell them exactly what is happening in South Africa and how the entire promise of Mandela has turned into a vicious and deadly farce. Short of that, no one is going to listen to you.

The West, and the United States in particular, has reveled in its own glow for 20 years after toppling the National Party government in South Africa through the most extreme of financial and economic sanctions. So busy was it patting itself on the back, that for twenty years it would not allow any warning signs from South Africa to intrude on its reverie. Meanwhile, South Africa was sliding into an abyss. It appeared that the Black nationalist African National Congress government, no matter how incompetent or corrupt, could simply do no wrong in the eyes of the United States government.

The truth, however, is belatedly dawning on at least some of the US intelligentsia. On Sunday 23 February 2014, in conversation on CNN with Fareed Zakaria, editor of Time Magazine and host of Fareed Zakaria GPS, guest Robin Wright, author of Rock the Kasbah: Rage and Rebellion Across the Islamic World, stated clear as daylight:

“… In South Africa today, Blacks are worse off than under Apartheid.”

Wright has reported from more than 140 countries on six continents for The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, TheNew Yorker, TheNew York TimesMagazine, TIME, The Atlantic, The Sunday Times of London, CBS News, Foreign Affairs, and many others. Her foreign tours include the Middle East, Europe, Africa, and several years as a roving foreign correspondent worldwide. She has covered a dozen wars and several revolutions. Until 2008, she covered U.S. foreign policy for The Washington Post.

Ironically, in his insightful book, The Post-American World (p.237 & 170-173), Zakaria himself specifically identified the South African Anglo-Boer War of 1899-1902 as the event that “broke the back of the British Empire“; the previous Lone Superpower.

I should like to suggest the United States—the present Lone Superpower—heed the lessons of the past and carefully consider what bedfellows it chooses in South Africa.

AmaBhulu – The Birth and Death of the Second Americawas first published in November 2013 as an e-book, and is now also available in a 630 page B&W printed softcover edition. This work is a comprehensive study of the complete history of South Africa, but with the unique differentiation that it tracks a few real bloodlines through that entire history. AmaBhulu describes how real individuals of European and North American descent experienced that epic history on the ground. The reader is placed among these real people. The author is the first to point out that his family is in this respect “dreadfully typical” and completely representative. AmaBhulu is therefore not a family history, but a History of a Nation by way of a few example bloodlines who happened to have been at the key formative events in that history.

These bloodlines systematically converge and by the 1950s they lead to the author and his wife, proving the author’s natural DNA-based authority in writing on the subject. AmaBhulu thereby also differs from the library of books by British newspapermen talking either about or to Afrikaners who are then treated as “subjects”. In AmaBhulu the world may hear an ordinary Afrikaner—not a reporter beholden to his editor, politician beholden to his party, or government-paid political history professor beholden to his pay cheque—talking about his own people based on actual experience, backed by solid evidence. The author is beholden to no one and no thing; only to his conscience, to his ethics, and to his respect for evidence.

AmaBhulu provides more than 1280 notes in evidence and a massive 270 bibliographic entries in support of any points it makes. The evidence is often from 17th-19th century texts, communications, or diaries. In more recent cases, the evidence is provided from British Hansard records and recently cleared US State Department documents. The author even provides recent documented supporting evidence from the enemy he was opposing.

Join the author in the epic and painful story of the Afrikaner nation as it evolves at the southern tip of Africa to build the country that became to Africa what America was to the world in the 20th century. In one sense, it is the story of what would have happened to the United States if it had not gained independence in the 18th century.

In 1797 the British Royal Navy was concerned that South Africa would become a “Second America” and take India from them. AmaBhulu holds stern warning for the First America if it wishes to avoid the present sad fate of the Second America.
